AI Thread Summary
A recent discussion highlights the interest in advancing knowledge in plasma physics and fusion following a BSc in nuclear and radiation engineering. The participant seeks guidance on further courses and simulation codes related to these fields. Suggestions include utilizing textbooks from previous courses for deeper exploration and considering additional courses in plasma physics and radiation interactions with matter. Engaging with these resources is emphasized as a way to build a solid foundation in the subject.

I just finished my Bsc. in nuclear and radiation engineering, and in my senior year i took a plasma physics and fusion course and was introduced to Fusion, MHD etc. , but the course did not dive deep into them.

I am really interested in this field, wether Plasma physics only or Fusion. I want to dive deeper into this field and learn more courses about it, and know all the codes that are used for simulation etc..

If someone can give me a brief guide or knows a good course or guide it would be really helpful🙏

Why not use references from your textbook to dig deeper? By the time you graduate you should be able to do this on your own.

What textbook did one use in the course?

One should consider taking courses in plasma physics and radiation interaction with matter: plasmas, gases and solids.
 

Thread 'What major topics are there in arithmetic and what order to learn them?'

TL;DR Summary: What topics to cover to safely say I know arithmetic ? I am learning arithmetic from Indian NCERT textbook. Currently I have finished addition ,substraction of 2 digit numbers and divisions, multiplication of 1 digit numbers. I am moving pretty slowly. Can someone tell me what topics to cover first to build a framework and then go on in detail. I want to learn fast. It has taken me a year now learning arithmetic. I want to speed up. Thanks for the help in advance. (I also...

Thread 'Help with my plan to get into research about bound states'

Hi community My aim is to get into research about atoms, specifically, I want to do experimental research that explores questions like: 1. Why do Gallium/Mercury have low melting points 2. Why are there so many exceptions and inconsistencies when it comes to explaining molecular structures / reaction mechanisms in inorganic and organic chemistry 3. Experimental research about fundamental Quantum Mechanics, such as the one being followed by Hiroshima university that proved that observing...

Thread 'PhD Admission: What Do Committees Want from an MS Applicant in Research?'

I am currently in the second (and final) year of my MS in Physics. I've just started my research, which focuses on identifying Dark Matter through Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) extensions. My supervisor has directed me to learn model building using FeynRules and subsequent calculations via MadGraph or other simulators. I've successfully built models for QED and QCD, and I am now working on Weak Interactions, Electroweak theory, and symmetry breaking. My immediate goal for the next few...
